To all chrome lovers, I think it's time you should take a look at Firefox Quantum. Firefox new version that is Quantum, is quite a browser. As said by Firefox it is twice as fast from it's previous versions.

From Layman terms, it's blazing fast, secure and more over it doesn't take much of your memory. So, I have been using it for 7 days, and I think, I am quite happy by using it. Unlike chrome, your privacy is not compromised, neither your memory nor speed.

Verdict :
I think this may bring revolution in browser's history. If you are chrome lover, it's time to change your browser. For Firefox user, it's a gift from them browse on it .

With the
launch of Android Oreo comes a lot of time spent searching for hidden
goodies within the source code. In the past, the Android engineering
team has talked about enabling theming in Android O. We knew
that the second Developer Preview of Android O may have been a hint of
Google supporting the Overlay Manager Service (OMS) and Runtime Resource
Overlay (RRO), but now we know for certain it was. Android Oreo now, technically,
supports both OMS/RRO theming and even provides an interface for enabling or
disabling themes using the command line.

What are RRO and OMS?

RRO was developed internally by Sony for theme functionality on the
Sony Xperia line. Developers who recognized its significance worked to
extend its support to other ROMs, and with it came RRO theming across a
multitude of devices- not just Sony devices. It ingeniously replaced
resources at the app runtime, an ease of use unseen from other theming
options at the time. This has evolved into OMS, which also was developed
in-house by Sony. The famous Layers Manager
used RRO theming originally, but OMS was later adapted into what is now
known as Substratum and is the theming framework most familiar to users
on our forums now. ROMs on our forums with OMS commits mean they
support the standard theming engine of Substratum. “Legacy mode” within
Substratum is using RRO theming.

Android Oreo Introduces Theme Commands

It seems Google now wishes to fully support this theme type in AOSP,
possibly moving towards a full, system-supported theme manager. On the
Android Gerrit, Google has made a number of changes in recent months
(and with Android Oreo) which suggest moves to enable the theming engine
system-wide. The changes are below, with links to their respective
commits.

All of these changes signify a move by Google towards some form of
system theming application to be included in the future. The permission
listed above requires system privileges, and thus means that only a
system application (or an application with root access) can invoke this
permission. It’s interesting nonetheless, as it shows Google is finally
working towards something.
So why only technically does Android Oreo support theming?
Well, the simple answer is that while you can invoke the system method
of installing themes, to do so would prove rather pointless. This is
because, even though you can use the new command line interface to
manage installed themes, you cannot actually install new themes without
root access because the themes need to go into a directory that is
restricted from user space. With root access you can simply enable a
Substratum theme anyway, so there is no need to do it the new way.
Google has not included a system application to theme the device, so
until then there is no benefit whatsoever to trying to do it the newly
included way.

The Command Line Theming Interface

The devs at XDA tested the command on a Google Pixel running the Android Oreo release. We decided to test some of the commands and firstly used

cmd overlays list

to view all pre-installed overlays. We noticed the existence of a
“com.google.android.theme.pixel”, disabling it and instead enabling
“android.auto_generated_rro__” by running the following commands.

As can be seen here, the standard overlay is disabled and the
auto-generated one is enabled. Running our command to view our installed
overlays again, we see the following output.

This results in a newly themed Android System settings application on
our Google Pixel. Note that the above overlay list also includes themes
installed using Substratum, and we were able to enable/disable these
just as easily.

auto_generated_rro Theme

We also found another command when digging through the source. The command is as follows

cmd overlay dump--user 0

gives us the following output.

Output

So as can be seen, Google has put a lot of work into the development
of the theming engine and integrating it into AOSP source. It looks like
if it were to be added system-wide, themes would be enabled within the System UI tuner. Google have also provided information for OEMs, so it’s possible that additional OEMs could enable theming support based on the AOSP version in the future on Android Oreo.
Overall, this is a very exciting development. Theming is one of the
many parts that defines Android as a fully customizable operating system
on your phone. In the future if it were enabled to work without root access, it
would be a major step in the direction of user freedom. Of course, it
might be locked away in System UI tuner for quite some time.

The Korea Herald and the news portal Naver said today purporting to reveal the release date of Samsung’s Next Big Thing. According to the Korea Herald, Samsung is planning to introduce the Galaxy Note 8 “in the third or fourth week of August.” Like the Note 7 before it, the new S Pen device will reportedly make its debut in New York.

Citing an unnamed Samsung official, Naver ventures a specific date: August 26, give or take a couple of days.

Samsung initially planned to launch the new Note at IFA in the first week of September, according to the Korea Herald. The impending arrival of rival devices from LG and especially Apple might have prompted Samsung to bring up the big release.

For reference, the Note 7 was announced on August 2 last year. Reports that surfaced after the phone was recalled due to faulty batteries suggested Samsung rushed the device to market in order to outshine Apple.

from Samsung from the last few years has been preceded by rumors …
